As time has gone by and we have explored more of the Blue Ridge Mountains, our Mountain Dreams have expanded to include the mountains of southwestern Virginia. Through the virtual pages of my blogs I have made many “imaginary” friends throughout the Blue Ridge Mountains…Some of whom call the mountains of Virginia home.
As we continue to dream and plan for a move to the Blue Ridge Mountains, I find I need a place to organize the information I find. Since my “daily” muses now show up on my blog Coffee Muses, I thought I would start reinvinting North Carolina Mountain Dreams and now the new domain, Virginia Mountain Dreams as resource pages for the Blue Ridge Mountains of both states. I am not sure where this new direction will lead, but the journey should prove interesting. Bear with me as I work on the changes I envision…

I was born in Waco, spent the first 20 years of my life farther south along the coast than did you- Corpus Christi-the next 15 or so in and around Houston, which is where I met, married and took a trip northward with my current husband. In 1977, we drove the Blue Ridge on our way back home to Houston. That was my first sense of my soul feeling at home. Ultimately we have ended up in Austin with children and grandchildren nearby. However, we have returned over the last few years to those mountains a few times and even though we are not well to do and certainly not young, the song of the mountains of northwest North Carolina/southwest Virginia calls us back. Our dream? No later than spring of 2011. I am licensed in both states now so know I can make an income. The place we now own goes on the market in January.
Your mountain dreams mirror mine and my husband’s so closely, it is almost strange. Until those dreams become reality, I’ll continue to spend every free moment on the web, searching, reading and dreaming….and now your blog, that of a kindred spirit, will join the places I frequent.
Thank you for the writing, the dreaming and the realization that we are not the only ones who dream of the Blue Ridge.
